Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-05-05 21:36:38 UTC 
I assume you mean before and between <source> and <track>? What's the benefit?
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2014-05-14 12:58:01 UTC 
Maybe you want to stamp out <source>s or <track>s from a <template>, or you want to run a script that sets a capturing listener for "error" for the <video> before the <source>s are parsed instead of putting onerror="" on each <source>.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-05-14 23:39:01 UTC 
I'm finding it hard to come up with a plausible scenario where a template is the easiest way to stamp out some <track> or <source> elements...
Comment 4 Philip Jägenstedt 2016-02-01 16:45:37 UTC 
Simon, want to spec or WONTFIX this?
Comment 5 Simon Pieters 2016-02-02 02:59:24 UTC 
I'd like to fix this and the other template content model bugs.
Comment 6 Michael[tm] Smith 2017-07-21 17:44:23 UTC 
Let’s re-raise this in the GitHub issue tracker if necessary.
